How Lacto-Fermented Pickles Are Made
At Swiss Villa, we prioritize simple, natural preservation tactics with organic farming practices. That’s why we create our fermented pickles using a simple method.
- Lacto-fermentation stage 1: First we brine the cucumbers, onions and spices in a simple water and celtic sea salt brine, which allows any harmful bacteria to be killed off by the saltiness.
- Lacto-fermentation stage 2: The healthy bacteria survives the first stage and goes on to convert lactose and sugars in the veggies to create lactic acid, creating an acidic environment that safely preserves the vegetables. This is where all those wonderful probiotics are nourished and the health benefits truly start!
3. Packaging and Selling: Then we jar our delicious fermented bread and butter pickles, label them, and sell them directly to you!
